To: George W. Bush

“Bush and the neo-cons now stand completely isolated, the pathetic neo-cons pointing at Bush and saying his execution of their brilliant plan was flawed. So, it is quite ironic for you to try to insult us, who represent the views of the Republican party foreign policy consensus, as isolationists. It is the neo-con policy failure of the Bush administration which is truly isolationist because it has isolated us in domestic and foreign policy and isolated us with our traditional allies and isolated us as the new minority party in Congress. And it will hand the White House back to the Xlintons if pursued further.”

I’m not jewish, nor a liberal turned conservative, so the ‘neo con’ crap is meaningless to me, except it serves as a red flag in these forums when used as casually as you seem to be using it.

Second, what ‘insult’ are you talking about, in regards to my comments about Congressman Paul?

Third point. Its been my long held opinion we used Cold War strategies in dealing with Saddam and Son’s in the Gulf War. The notion of ‘containment’ to be exact. That was a serious error in judgement on the part of Bush the Elder in my view. If you are going to war with a dictator, you must remove him from his position, or don’t bother. Had we done so at the conclusion of the Gulf War, we wouldn’t be dealing with what we have today.

If you want to have a civil discussion about Ron Paul, I’m here. But if what you posted to me is your idea of ‘civil discourse’ about Ron Paul, don’t bother pinging me. I’ve had my fill of posters ranting about ‘evil neo cons’ as if its ‘real’.

After the 9/11 kook theory types, the ‘neo cons are all scum, and you are a neo con’ types are the most aggravating.

No, that is exactly my point. History is proving Bush I and Baker were correct (along with the rest of the GOP foreign policy establishment, CIA, DIA, etc.). Removing Saddam was a mistake compared to the results we have had and will have now. Removing the Taliban was actually a good idea and well-supported by all our allies and by considerable domestic consensus.

My point is to make it clear exactly who are the foreign policy isolationists and exactly who has been isolated by the current policies, namely, those championed by the neo-con segment of the GOP whose failed vision for Mideast nation-building is only too evident.

Badeye, I only flagged you because I thought you might enjoy the debate. Neither you nor OPie were being criticized. I think you've hung around with those Bikers until it's made you a little paranoid. Anyway, FRegards.
